A graphical design environment for developing wiring diagrams and service documentation, featuring integrated electrical analysis and simulation tools that help resolve electromechanical design challenges early in the development cycle. It also includes configurable, reusable layout capabilities optimized for designing 2D industrial control panels.

A 2D graphical design environment tailored for harness and formboard design, supporting end-to-end automation from design to production. It streamlines the creation of full-scale, manufacturing-ready drawings, along with automated generation of the bill of materials and detailed manufacturing reports. This significantly shortens production lead times and minimizes the risk of manufacturing errors.

A streamlined, process-oriented environment designed for the efficient creation, routing, and management of wires, cables, and bundles within mechanical assemblies. It facilitates seamless data exchange of harness topology between MCAD and ECAD systems, accelerating design cycles and enhancing manufacturing readiness. The innovative connected mode feature synchronizes both environments, highlighting design changes via cross-probing. Real-time feedback instantly identifies potential issues, supporting faster, more informed decision-making.

Comprehensive schematic capture and PCB layout tools designed to streamline the complexities of printed circuit board design. Key features include sketch routing, hierarchical 2D/3D planning and component placement, along with seamless ECAD/MCAD collaboration to ensure design accuracy and efficiency.

An open, interoperable collaboration environment for the development of printed circuit boards. Breaks down the communications barriers in PCB design by efficiently communicating design intent between ECAD and MCAD systems
